Find it from the word
The clue is a word, not a cut-out: find la chaise, l’horloge, le livre. A picture dictionary they have to walk around in.
When to use it
A language lesson on the words for a room, a house or a town. Pupils learning English as an additional language, finding things they know by the name they're learning. A starter the week after new vocabulary, to see which words really landed.

There are no cut-out pieces to match here: every clue is a word. Read the French, find what it names in the classroom, and the English is there so you can check yourself.

Why the example is built this way
-
The new word, with its translation beside it.
Each clue gives the word being learned and then the English, so a beginner can check themselves. When the class is ready, delete the English half and it becomes the real drill.
-
The whole list stays on screen.
Find them one at a time stays off. Learners take the words they know first and work the rest out by elimination; one at a time would count a click on a known word as a miss.
-
A short pause after a wrong click.
Here guessing is part of working a word out, so Pause after a wrong click stays at its one-second default. A longer freeze would punish exactly the learner who is thinking.
